I like the Magnum experimentation episodes, and here this episode, Murder by Night, pays homage to the 1940s crime movies with the black and white production, dramatic music, credit fonts. You could tell the cast were having heaps of fun in this homage, and so do we the audience who are in on the fun.
It's hard to believe this episode was produced nearly 40 years ago but it stands the test of time. I must admit I haven't bothered to watch the reboot, because the only true Magnum, P. I. is the original one.
The end credits featured a scene with Magnum coughing up on smoke from a cigar, a nice touch indeed.
